US Special Prosecutor Jack Smith has filed a new indictment against former US President Donald Trump on suspicions that he tried to overturn the outcome of the 2020 presidential election. The new indictment charges Trump with the same criminal charges as the old one, but contains some changes after the Supreme Court ruling that the former president enjoys broad immunity from criminal prosecution.

The new indictment focuses on Trump's role as a political candidate seeking re-election, rather than as the president of the country at the time. On July 1, the Supreme Court said Trump enjoys immunity from prosecution for actions he took as president.

The Special Prosecutor's Office said the updated indictment, filed in federal court in Washington, "reflects the Government's efforts to respect and implement the Supreme Court's rulings." In a reaction on his Truth Social platform, Trump called the new indictment "desperation" and "an attempt to revive the dead witch hunt." He said that the new indictment has "all the problems of the old indictment and should be dismissed immediately".

The new indictment removes references to charges that could be qualified as official actions for which Trump enjoys immunity, according to the Supremes' decision. This includes allegations that Trump tried to use the Justice Department in his failed efforts to undo the election loss, including by conducting bogus investigations and telling states — falsely — that major election fraud had been detected. The Supreme Court said in its decision that the interaction of the president with the Department of Justice is an official action and for this he enjoys immunity.

The new indictment also removes references to Trump's communications with federal government officials — such as senior White House counsel — who told him there was no evidence of fraud that would have changed the outcome of the 2020 election. references to certain statements by Trump, including an allegation he made at a White House news conference two days after the election about a suspicious ballot box in Detroit. But the new indictment contains one of the most shocking allegations leveled by Smith, that Trump participated in a scheme orchestrated by allies to recruit fake field workers in states won by Democrat Joe Biden to testify. falsely that Trump had won those states.

The indictment also raises suspicions that Trump pressured Vice President Mike Pence to throw out the legality of the vote and that Trump and his allies took advantage of the chaos at the Capitol on Jan. 6 to try to further delay the certification of Biden's victory. . Trump is again the Republican nominee for president in the Nov. 5 election, and this time he will run against Vice President Kamala Harris, who, according to polls, has a small lead over him nationally.

In May, Trump became the first US president or former president to be convicted of a felony. A New York court found Trump guilty of falsifying business records to illegally influence the 2016 presidential election through payments to silence a porn actress who said she had sex with him.
